AJ Jolly is one of my all-time favorite Kentucky destinations. I have spent countless nights camping there, long afternoons filled with Frisbee golf, and serene days simply dropping a line in the water. While there are plenty of ways to take advantage of the landscape, not much can compare with a walk along the campsite to take in the seasonal foliage. Beyond being a perfect nature getaway, the Kentucky park also comes complete with a wide range of other activities such as several baseball fields and other areas that are ideal for smaller children.

The trails at AJ Jolly are second to none. The walks consist of some of Kentucky's greatest floral sights in tandem with all different varieties of nature.
